No she was in the whole house, Leanne.

You should ask them, and find out what you all want to do.

It was great having her back to school today.

I slept really badly, I was up half the night.

reason to believe

Sorry to hear, Claire Is it stress or the RLS?

I heard England is divided into tiers now where one location area have more restrictions than others.

BC cases keep rising along with deaths. Not sure how long they can keep this charade of schools being open much longer if it doesn't go down soon!

Meliana

I don't know what was the cause really, Leanne.

Yes that's right, although each devolved Country has their own system, England is mostly divided into tough restrictions (tier 2), or even tougher restrictions (tier 3). We've been put in the highest category (3) in Kent because some areas have high numbers of covid. In this borough we're actually lower than other places which are in tier 2, so it's not particularly fair.

Our schools are still open here, but numbers are falling everywhere across the country, so it is possible to keep schools open. It means restricting places where people socialise unfortunately.

Hi Claire and Leanne

Numbers have been climbing astronomically here in Oklahoma and Arkansas. Most of our hospitals are maxed out. And the governments aren't wanting to shut down, I guess for fear of the economy tanking.

Within the last month, my aunt and uncle were both very sick with Covid. They were down almost 2 weeks, but thankfully never had to be hospitalized. My stepdaughter and her husband both caught it, but they weren't very sick - just felt like a cold. And my cousin and her husband both contracted it. My cousin's husband had to be hospitalized for double pneomonia. Thankfully, they are all on the mend now.

reason to believe

Well, the economy is going to tank if people die anyway too.


It's so weird how the virus seems to affect people in all different ways, you can't possibly predict how it might affect you!


I'm glad your family is ok through suffering it!

Meliana

Yeah unfortunately we do need restrictions on the economy to stop people dying.

It was nice to be able to go into shops again today.

reason to believe

What a chaotic day at work. My coworker is combining two classes at once and they talk over here.


I put in ear plugs


I plan to have a quiet nice weekend after this!! Full of Christmas music!

Meliana

I went shopping but it was stressful. Plus I couldn't get my prescription, so I'm having to take fewer pills to make them last longer. The idea is stressing me out!

I did however do another chair and now mine is comfy to sit on. When we have the other boards cut out next week, I can do the rest of them.

Ear plugs are a good idea, Leanne!

Yellow Mustang Girl

I'm hoping to do most of my Christmas shopping online and then what I can't get online, do during the week, early in the mornings in the next week or two (before the stores get crowded).

Claire shopping is very stressful this time of year and then add on the pandemic, and it's super stressful

And you weren't able to get your prescription filled Gosh, I'm sorry.

Leann a nice quiet weekend full of Christmas music sounds like a great plan. I'll probably do my grocery pickup first thing int he morning and then spend the rest of the weekend relaxing at home, watching Christmas movies, maybe cleaning a little.

Meliana

Yeah it's because the doctor increased my dose, so I got through them quicker than expected. I hope I can get them next week.

It was just too busy. It was impossible to avoid people.

I've done most of mine online, Carol.

Hello every I haven't been around for a long time. Haven't Felt much like chatting and sleeping more between appointment more medical tests, lab draws and urine tests. I Have a very high level of my Parathyroid. In September it was approx 186. normal is 12-87. Tue the 1st of Dec 2020 it is 199!!! I see the Endocrinologist to discuss when surgery to remove the rice size tumors from one or more glands. We have 4.. They are next to the Thyroid gland. Also to find out what kind of kidney stones I have and if my kidney function has improved. This condition cased severe osteoperosis even with high doses of calcium intake and vitamin D. The severe areas noted are hips, wrist and forearms. My teeth have become loose over the past year and a bridge fell out/ I have now all teeth pulled except 4 top middle and 4 bottom middle/ Those will come out after Jan 1st, 2921 when the dental insurance starts paying for things again. They will pay 50% of the cost of the dentures I will be getting. I will bring them to the Oral surgeon the same day of my last 8 teeth are extracted. It kidney function is OK will schedule my total right shoulder surgery with rotator cuff repairs and bone spurs removed. PT following> All while avoiding the flu and the COVID virus!!! Then I pray I won't need any more surgeries for a while!!! I am sad I am unable to be in California for my mom's 98th birthday on the 12th of Dec. I haven't seen her since 2016 since I have been needing one surgery a year.

Hope you all are feeling pretty good. I have missed you...now you know what I have been dealing with....

Hi bunnies

I hope everyone is doing well

It was a pretty day here yesterday, so I was able to get my porch decorated for Christmas. I typically just put out a new rug and hang up my wreath. However, this year I bought several artificial poinsettia plants online on Black Friday, so I placed them in my pots and added some cut cedar branches from the trees on our land. The pots look pretty good and add some color to the porch.

Karen I am so sorry to hear you are still having health issues. I was hoping the shoulder surgeries were going to be the last. It does sound like the doctor has a plan, and I sure hope you heal from each surgery and are on to better health

I received your letter, but haven't gotten around to writing back I'm sorry. I'll respond soon

Claire I sure hope you get your medication this week.

Meliana

Sorry to hear of your medical troubles, Karen. The idea of having teeth pulled freaks me out though...

That sounds nice Carol. We'll probably think about it next weekend....

Thanks Carol, I'm about to ring the Doctor's surgery again as the chemist still doesn't have it.

Yellow Mustang Girl

Ugh. Claire I sure hope you get your medication soon.

This is final exam week at our university, so I've been grading, grading, grading. Thankfully I try my best to stay on top of grading all semester so that all I have at finals is the final exams, which are usually all essays since I teach English.

Meliana

Thanks Carol. I got it yesterday, just in time!

I also went to the dentist, and my teenage daughter needs her first filling! Not so good... I think the lack of care due to Covid must be part of the reason, though.
